Wow! This place deserves all the good reviews. So affordable and fast service. After living in California and New Mexico, we were hunting for a Mexican spot close to downtown. I highly recommend this place! The tamales are huge and the tacos are delicious.

Had to give this place a 2nd taste to see if it was good or not once more. So i went in to order 6 tacos to which i had to repeate my self atleast a minimum of 6 times on how many i wanted along with what style i had ordered. First time the order was repeated back to me he only had 2 tacos rang up. Second time he only ranged up 4 tacos. After having to repeat myself multiple times i literally had to tell him that i ordered 6 tacos so he should have 6 on it. When the food was ready he called out 6 tacos instead of the order number on the receipt causing confusing to me and the other customers on whos order it belonged causing me to asked him what order number it was so it can go to the right person. Apparently he does speak english so it makes me wonder why he's having a hard time understanding me speaking english to him and of course i ordered for dine in but it was packed to go. The portion size was ok a bit smaller than the other taco locations around the cities. Taste wise it was ok but not as good as other locations around town. Overall i might drop in again if im in the neighborhood but its not worth traveling far for their food. Customer service wise need i say more other than it could use some improvements on.

Very good authentic Mexican food. Big, satisfying portion. We didn't leave hungry, for sure. Parking could be a challenge depending on the time of the day.

After my usual taco spot closed down, I needed to find another place to religiously buy tacos from 🌮. Seriously; I’ve gotten tacos waaaaay more than I’ve ever gone to church, believe me. So to find a new taco place to frequent were some pretty big shoes to fill Welp this place can also be called “Cinderella” because because El Riendo filled those shoes perfectly. Yeah I’m your average midwesterner for the most part; but I know delicious and authentic Mexican food when I get it. I grew up in an area of Milwaukee where I was able to get amazing tamales left & right, and when I moved to MN I had really missed that. After my favorite place to get tacos from closed, I had to find another good taco spot. Obviously El Taco Riendo is authentic; but their food is also great! El Taco Riendo has always been consistently good, and I am so happy to of found comfort in this place. They make the most perfect elote with a fair distribution of all the toppings. I whenever I order to pickup or deliver, I’ve asked them to possibly leave onions out as a topping, if they can. I don’t hate onions, but have a slight food sensitivity to them, so if I’m able to get less onions; I try to. Every time they’ve been so nice and have always left out the additional onions for me. Recommend elote 🌽 and their tamales 🫔. Any of their tacos 🌮 in any flavor are a no-brainer and all have been good! I’m happy I found this place through a suggestion of a coworker of mine! El Taco Riendo is so good!!

Take out only. They have an ordering station just inside the door with plexiglass barrier between you and the person taking your order. There is enough room for a few people to be inside waiting and be 6 feet apart

This was good but the food workers are very rude and probably spit in my food they gave us the wrong order messed up are food on purpose and when went BM to let them no the rude lady workers didn't understand a word but never ever will come here
